Most common complaint
The MAU model favours occasional users, but there is no figure to verify that with
Several units are metered at once: bandwidth, storage, video units and seats
A page titled pricing that contains a benefit calculator instead of prices
The tier is capped by download count as well as volume, which is a less familiar unit to budget against

“Not checked” means exactly that: we have not verified it, not that the platform lacks it. Every other value was read off the vendor’s own pages on the date shown on each platform page.
